GRTC UPDATE: Howdy Campers! Fall is approaching fast, which happens to be our favorite time of the year to camp. Just right afternoon temps and temps perfect at night for snuggling Some people think camping is a Memorial Day to Labor Day activity, but “Off Season” camping is awesome. Especially if you like quieter times at the camping areas. We have 2 trips already on the Calender. Cactus Canyon trip (males only) for Halobear the weekend of Oct 4th-6th. A huge Bear and friends of, get together. Then what is going to be our Annual “Homecoming” the first weekend in December will be our Petit Jean Mountain camp out. If you haven’t been to Petit Jean State Park you have been missing one of if not Arkansas most beautiful park. Awesome hiking trails, magnificent photo ops, great lake and campsites. We have several sites already booked in Section A I think we have sites 3-8 already taken by group members. Several site are available adjoining those. We have some tent pads available on the sites with campers are being used. If you would like to reserve one of those tent pads, go to our facebook page: https:// www.facebook.com/groups/476975909012288/ and look for the post talking about the sites
and post that you would like to reserve one. First come first served. More details and plans will come for these trips in the coming weeks. There is a private float trip in the works for the weekend of Sept 20th-22nd. if you would be interested email Glen Smith either on facebook or at glensmith501@gmail.com and I will put you in touch with the person leading that outing.
